Hi,
As part of looking at what GCC plugins could be replaced with Clang
implementations, this series uses the recently landed stack depth tracking
callback in Clang[1] to implement the stackleak feature. Since the Clang
feature is now landed, I'm moving this out of RFC to a v1.
Since this touches a lot of arch-specific Makefiles, I tried to trim
the CC list down to just mailing lists in those cases, otherwise the CC
was giant.
Thanks!
-Kees
[1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SanitizerCoverage.html#tracing-stack-depth
v1:
- Finalize Clang URLs for landed feature
- Perform CFLAGS enabling more sanely, as done for randstruct
- Split __no_sanitize_coverage into separate patch
- Update hardening.config and MAINTAINERS
- Fix bug found with nvme tree

The only reason nvme_pci_npages_prp() could be used as a compile-time
known result in BUILD_BUG_ON() is because the compiler was always choosing
to inline the function. Under special circumstances (sanitizer coverage
functions disabled for __init functions on ARCH=um), the compiler decided
to stop inlining it:
drivers/nvme/host/pci.c: In function 'nvme_init':
include/linux/compiler_types.h:557:45: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_678' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: nvme_pci_npages_prp() > NVME_MAX_NR_ALLOCATIONS

Force it to be __always_inline to make sure it is always available for
use with BUILD_BUG_ON().

While __noinstr already contained __no_sanitize_coverage, it needs to
be added to __init and __head section markings to support the Clang
implementation of CONFIG_STACKLEAK. This is to make sure the stack depth
tracking callback is not executed in unsupported contexts.
The other sanitizer coverage options (trace-pc and trace-cmp) aren't
needed in __head nor __init either ("We are interested in code coverage
as a function of a syscall inputs"[1]), so this appears safe to disable
for them as well.

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth
tracking that can support stack depth callbacks, remove "GCC_PLUGIN"
from "CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK" and remove "PLUGIN" from
"DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN". Rearrange the Kconfig to have a top-level
CONFIG_STACKLEAK that will depend on either GCC plugins or Clang soon.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_STACKLEAK_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

The Clang stack depth tracking implementation has a fixed name for the
stack depth tracking callback, "__sanitizer_cov_stack_depth", so rename
the GCC plugin function to match since it has no external dependencies.

In preparation for Clang stack depth tracking for stackleak, split the
stackleak-specific cflags out of GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS into
STACKLEAK_CFLAGS.

Since we can wipe the stack with both Clang and GCC plugins, enable this
for the "hardening.config" for wider testing.

To reduce stale data lifetimes, enable CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON as
well. This matches the addition of CONFIG_STACKLEAK=y, which is doing
similar for stack memory.

Also, any chance to fix this terrible name? Should be something like
KSTACKZERO or KSTACKCLEAR, to tell people that it doesn't leak the
stack but prevents leaks on the stack by clearing it, and that it's
about the kernel stack, not any other stack.
Thanks,
Ingo

Yeah, better to name it for what it does rather than want to protects
against. The internal naming for what it does is "stack erase", so
perhaps KSTACK_ERASE ?
